THE SYSTEM OF ANALYSIS OF WORD-MUSIC INTERACTION BY DR. PETER STACEY IN THE CONTEXT OF LATVIAN VOCAL MUSIC OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Keywords:
Peter Stacey, analytical system of Stacey, vocal music, music analysis, Latvian vocal music of the 21st centuryAbstract
The connection of word and music is thousands of years long tradition that in different periods has created various concepts and approaches. Though the vocal tradition is very ancient, we still feel the shortage of analytical methods and theories that would allow us to analyze a composition in which the synthesis of two kinds of arts can be observed more successfully. Particularly few theoretical concepts can be found connected with phenomena of contemporary music. American musicologist Peter Stacey in his book Contemporary Trends in Interaction of Music and Text with Special Reference to Pli selon Pli by Boulez and Laborintus II by Berio (1989) has worked out a method of analysis of music and literary text that refers particularly to the praxis of contemporary vocal music (second part of the 20th century, 21st century). Analyzing the music of Latvian composers born in 70ies – Mārtiņš Viļums, Andris Dzenītis, Ēriks Ešenvalds and Santa Ratniece in the context of the analytical system of Stacey, a conclusion had to be drawn.
